  • Christian Terror in Europe? the Bible in Anders Behring Breivik's Manifesto
    J Bible Recept 2017; 4(1): 147–169 Hannah Strømmen* Christian Terror in Europe? The Bible in Anders Behring Breivik’s Manifesto DOI 10.1515/jbr-2017-2006 Abstract: In the attempts to understand the ideology underpinning the terror attack in Norway 22nd July 2011, and the growth of far-right extremism in Europe more generally, Christianity and the uses of the Bible are a largely neglected feature. In this article, I examine the way in which the Bible is used in Anders Behring Breivik’s manifesto, arguing that this provides an important example of the role of Christianity in far-right discourse. I show that the Bible functions as a legitimating device, glossing violence as defense of a Christian Europe; as a motivational instrument, positing God as a fellow fighter; and, as an origin for Europe. The Bible is situated in a pre-modern state where its signifying powers are policed. At the same time, it is wrenched out of this solidified framework, cut up and pasted into the manifesto hypertext in order to serve as a contemporary ally to an anti-Muslim and anti-multicultural cause. Keywords: Terror; Bible; Christianity; far right; Breivik; Europe. 1 Introduction On 22nd July 2011, Anders Behring Breivik dressed in a fake police uniform, drove to the Government Headquarters (the government office buildings), in Oslo (Regjeringskvartalet) and planted a bomb, which detonated shortly thereafter. He then gained entry to the island of Utøya, where the Norwegian Labour party’s youth organization [Arbeidernes Ungdomsfylking (AUF)] held their annual political summer camp, and shot indiscriminately at the young people there.

  • Rettsprosessene
    Tematekst Rettsprosessene Hvordan har det norske rettsvesenet behandlet gjerningsmannen? Etter terrorangrepene 22. juli 2011 ble gjerningsmannen dømt som tilregnelig til 21 års forvaring med en minstetid på ti år. Fornærmede og etterlatte har fått voldsoffererstatning. Både straffesaken mot terroristen og erstatningssakene for å avgjøre voldsoffererstatning var utfordrende for det norske rettsvesenet, på grunn av omfanget av sakene og den voldsomme interessen fra offentligheten. Under de første avhørene av Breivik på Utøya etter pågripelsen ga han inntrykk av at det var sannsynlig med flere nært forestående angrep. I løpet av avhør på politihuset den 23. juli 2011 – etter at Geir Lippestad var oppnevnt til Breiviks forsvarer – ble det etter hvert klart at trusselen om nye angrep ikke var reell. Det var Breivik som ba om Lippestad som forsvarsadvokat. For å ivareta rettsstaten – som Breivik hadde angrepet – tok Lippestad oppdraget. Hvorvidt gjerningsmannen var psykotisk (ofte omtalt som «sinnssyk» eller «gal»), eller om han kunne dømmes som tilregnelig, var et stort og betent spørsmål helt fra arrestasjonen og frem til domfellelsen. Det kan også fortsatt ansees som betent. Det henger sammen med at så godt som alle de som er enige med Breivik når det gjelder skepsis til et flerkulturelt samfunn og innvandring, mente terroraksjonen var en gal og forkastelig måte å gi uttrykk for denne skepsisen på. Dersom Breivik var utilregnelig, kunne handlingene hans forklares som psykotiske og ikke som voldelige uttrykk for ideologiske standpunkt. Terrorhandlingenes brutalitet fikk imidlertid mange – uavhengig av ideologi – til å mene at Breivik måtte være «gal» - altså utilregnelig. Aktorene Inga Bejer Engh og Svein Holden la i tiltalen ned påstand om utilregnelighet, med støtte i den første rettspsykiatriske utredningen, men ikke i den andre.

  • 22 July How Do You Frame an “Entertainment” About One of The
    22 July How do you frame an “entertainment” about one of the century’s most horrific terrorist incidents? The incident is the slaughter of 77 people, mostly students, on July 22, 2011, by Norwegian right-wing fanatic Anders Behring Breivik, and the film about his rampage, made by English director Paul Greengrass (“United 93,” “Captain Phillips”), is a thoughtful, compelling depiction of the crime and its aftermath. “22 July” comes in roughly three chapters: the massacre, the legal setting, and Breivik’s trial. For the killings—a combination of a pipe bomb in downtown Oslo, followed by the shooting of 69 people at a Workers’ Youth League meeting on the island of Utøya—there is little build-up; Greengrass shows us the killer getting down to business, performing his murders efficiently and chillingly (but with no lingering blood or horror). While Breivik roams the island, we follow a second protagonist, Vijar Hanssen (Jonas Strand Gravli), a leader of the youth group, who is shown being hunted down like a deer, receiving five bullet wounds, and being left for dead. The second portion treats both the legal machinations of Breivik’s case, including the assignment of a reluctant defense lawyer Geir Lippestad (Jon Øigarden) and the Norwegian government’s reaction to the rampage. The attorney’s earnest attempts to get through to his fanatic client prove fruitless as Brevik’s only spouts his delusional political theories. Intercut with these scenes are the struggles of the injured Vijar to first survive then overcome his multiple disabilities. The trial completes the story, the case resting on a possible insanity defense and whether Vijar himself will be able to testify.

Seuraavana vuonna Oslon käräjäoikeudessa käytiin oikeudenkäynti, jossa Breivikiä syytettiin terroriteoista ja harkituista murhista. Oikeudenkäynnistä muodostui valtava mediatapahtuma, johon osallistuivat sadat mediaorganisaatiot ja toimittajat. Monien mukaan tämä tarjosi Breivikille juuri sen, mitä tämä oli halunnutkin: julkisen foorumin, jossa hän voisi jakaa äärioikeistolaista propagandaansa. Tässä tutkielmassa tarkastellaan sitä, millaisia eettisiä ongelmia Anders Breivikin oikeudenkäynti tuotti journalisteille, ja miten journalistit selviytyivät näistä ongelmista.

  • The 22 July Massacre in Norway Was Fake, Part 1
    return to updates The 22 July Massacre in Norway was Fake part one by Miles Mathis First published October 7, 2019 Yes, this was first ready for publication on October 7, but it had to be totally rewritten. It disappeared from my computer moments before I was about to publish it. All backup files were also destroyed. It was a 30-page paper, but it only took me a couple of days to compile, and I am not busy for the next couple of days. So I look forward to making it even longer and more explosive this time. I am going to make whoever kidnapped the first version wish I had it back. This is the 2011 event starring Anders Behring Breivik as bad guy. But I will show you he is just a gay Jewish actor, likely to soon fake his death. In so doing, I will link him by blood and name to just about everyone famous in Scandinavia and Europe in the 20th century, and every project in Norway since WWI. Oh, and by the way, I have help from Norway on this one, though I won't divulge any sources. Over 95% of what we will find below can be found from an easy websearch in English, but a few juicy bits were suggested to me, and I may not have found them on my own. That isn't Breivik above. He has gotten enough attention, so I have led with three photos alleged to be of victim Viljar Hanssen instead. Hanssen is supposed to have been shot by Breivik on Utøya, and is supposed to still have a bullet in his brain.

  • One Person Makes a Difference
    2013 REA Annual Meeting, Nov 8-10 Sturla Sagberg, Queen Maud University College, Trondheim, Norway [email protected] ABSTRACT Major studies of altruistic actions show that the self-understanding of one person can make the difference between disaster and hope for those involved. This paper is a heuristic- hermeneutical discussion of the values of altruism in analyzing material from the terror attacks in Norway July 22, 2011. It tries to identify clues to how such values can be focused on, fostered and supported in religious education. The conclusion points towards the significance of a narrative approach to ethics and to spiritual formation in a wide sense as one important perspective of religious education. ONE PERSON MAKES A DIFFERENCE A STUDY IN ALTRUISM AND ITS SIGNIFICANCE FOR RELIGIOUS EDUCATION INTRODUCTION: On July 22, 2011, Oslo and Utøya Island in Norway became sites of terror, with 77 people killed by one man (Anders Behring Breivik) who claimed it to be a defense of Christian culture against a multi-culturalist society. The event and the responses to it have led to a self- searching process: How can a young person develop a value system that allows such an atrocity? Another question is also asked: What makes young people respond with hope and expressions of love instead of just call for retaliation? The now famous “love quote” by a young member of the Labour party: “If one man can show so much hate, just think how much love we all together can create”1 was followed by many similar reactions (Sagberg, 2014). Both the event and the responses tell stories that are usually associated with altruism, that is, attitudes and acting out of the interest of others even at the risk of one’ own well-being.
